Some people can't see beyond their own bullshit. Welcome to your reality.
I've always wondered what it is that makes people spout bile like this, one thing I noticed they have in common is that as a rule they're anonymous.
Wow, this guy has -37 karma (at the moment)......doesn't HN block it at -10 karma per comment?

#153I definitely appreciate the gesture, and it seems to be in high demand, but I just can't figure out why I would want one? What's so special about .ww.com?
ps. please don't take this in any way negatively. I'm just puzzled.

It's ok, lots of people forget to check so I check them anyway, and if the user that used that page hasn't used it in a bunch of years then I'm cool with it. Don't forget that the first users signed up in '98 and they're long gone, most of the first names were nice & short so there is a good chance they're not actually in use. I will still have to go through the logs to see if these don't have backlinks pointing to t…
In that case, could I please have asif.ww.com if that user isn't using it? Thanks for your generosity again :)
yes, sure, that's been abandoned since 2001.

#155I'm curious, is there a backstory on how you came to own ww.com?
Yes, the short version is someone auctioned it off on ebay (I never went to ebay in my life before then) and was apparently negotiating with weight watchers. I had a lot of money set aside from the sale of 'gameplay.com', so over Christmas I negotiated with the guy (while all of Weight Watchers was on a holiday they well deserved) and by the 27th we had a deal. We set up an escrow, I paid, he transferred the domain.…
Care to give a ballpark on how much you paid for it? Just curious.

It's reasonably short.
It also gives you a chance at the name you really wanted to have but couldn't get with a not-too offensive suffix for $0.
If you type sub.ww ctrl-enter you're on the site.
Another reason someone just mailed me: They like their domain but it is hard to spell, a short alias to use over the phone can be handy.

It caps the display at -4 but it keeps on counting down.

There's a wild card handler on there, so that's free if you want it but I think it would fall under the 'representation' bit :)
